It was a conservative writer who coined the phrase “ideas have consequences.” The mass shooting at a Buffalo supermarket on Saturday, which left 10 people dead, shows the consequences of two of the horrific ideas that have taken root on the American right: support for the “great replacement” theory and opposition to gun control.
The 18-year-old arrested for the mass shooting posted a lengthy manifesto explaining his reasons for wanting to murder African Americans. (I will not use his name or link to his twisted explanation.) Like many on the right, he is enraged by what he imagines to be “mass immigration” and is convinced that it will “destroy our cultures, destroy our peoples.”
He believes there is a plot to replace White Americans with people of color; he even referred to his victims as “replacers.” He is also violently antisemitic and blames “the Jews [for] … spreading ideas such as Critical Race Theory and white shame/guilt to brainwash Whites into hating themselves and their people.” He condemns “elitists and globalists” and singles out George Soros — a favorite target of the right — for “his funding for the radical left.”
The young man wrote that he got his beliefs “mostly from the Internet,” specifically from the 4chan bulletin board where white supremacists congregate. But his repugnant views are not confined to an obscure corner of the Internet. They have become mainstream within the Republican Party.
Echoing the Christchurch, New Zealand, shooter, who killed 51 people at two mosques in 2019, the Buffalo gunman attacked ethnic diversity. “Why is diversity said to be our greatest strength?” his manifesto demanded. “Said throughout the media, spoken by politicians, educators and celebrities. But no one ever seems to give a reason why. What gives a nation strength? And how does diversity increase thatstrength?”

Jesus...What the hell happened to this man?
First problem is an absence of Jesus. Second problem is he confused his ass for his hat.
Third is that he fell in love with the circle-jerk that is the leftist DC echo chamber.
I’m waiting to hear from “conservative” Jennifer Rubin before I make my opinion.
I’ve tried a few times to find his manifesto but can’t. There are references to it and all seem slanted to the journo’s agenda. Where is the manifesto link?
This guy needs to have his head yanked out of his rectum.
(I will not use his name or link to his twisted explanation.)
Because what you are saying is wrong and God forbid people find that out?
I’ve only seen excerpts. I saw the thing about him wanting the left to react by passing strict gun control to trigger civil conflict here:

I think he also talks about the Christchurch shooter somewhere on there too.
Freegards
Hmmm...he doesn’t mention the NYC subway shooter or the Waukesha Christmas Parade Massacre...
That said...do any of these morons realize that mass illegal and legal migration has the greatest negative affect on native born black Americans?
Oh,Good God… apparently this idiot read absolutely nothing written by the shooter.
I read part of this crap. Doesn’t sound like an 18 year old suburban kid. Even if he has Asperger’s. Hmmm.
Noooo kidding...

This “Max” got a Boot in his ass a long time ago. It did irreparable brain damage.
Right, but when a BLM supporter shoots a bunch of non-blacks, that has nothing at all to do with the left’s adoption of radically racist belief systems. No connection at all!
Idiot.
The shooter was mentally ill and ignored.
Ilam Omar irrational hatred of Israel seems to have a lot in common with this guys antisemitism.
"I remember reading his stuff in UC Berkeley's The Daily Californian back in the middle 1980s and getting the impression that Boot was another dope-with-a-thesaurus like George F. Will, with added militarist bloodthirst. The bar for being a right-wing intellectual has traditionally been low."
There is "The Neocons Are Lying About Why They Hate Donald Trump" and "Giving the Boot" too.
I think Max has always had a abrasive streak. For most of his career he was able to keep it in check. When Trump entered politics the intelligentsia and power elites showed what they really think of America more than they have in years, since Reagan (naturally). They can not pretend what they showed of themselves never happened. So they are taking it out by blaming Trump and all of us for society's problems at every turn.
Max Boot is the single greatest chickenhawk alive. He has no real political party other than "War Hawk". Trump spent four years avoiding war as much as possible, the most unforgivable sin to a warmonger.
( P.S. I like that comment about George Will. At times He tries too hard and can make intelligent words sound dumb.)
Here’s the difference, this idiot writes about the shooters ideas when it is his actions that matter. This is a clear attempt to make anyone who thinks we should close the border or who thinks diversity is overrated is the equivalent of a mass murderer
Max is a queer who likes little boys. He kept it hidden,he thought, married, had a family, wrote very interesting books. But the DC permanent government wanted to own him completely and he was made to come out of the closet so he could push the cause of transgressive sex and the wire pullers could remind him they own him as they have pictures and names of boys he has been biblical with. Nice stuff our leaders engage in.
